curly

Hi! Any tricks to getting out the curl in my Maltese coat? This is her only fault. She's a 10 otherwise. I've tried 'human' products with no luck. I'll try anything. Thank you.

• When I wash and condition my Maltese, I use the hand blow dryer on a low marm (not hot!) setting and brush her hair against the grain. Then, right before she is totally dry, I put some baby powder on her and brush her hair the proper way. This makes her very fluffy and pretty. She doesn't have hair that's to the floor. I'm not sure if this technique would work if your dog's hair is that long. Try blow drying with a brush. You may like the results. You may also want to keep brushing at least once a day to keep the hair trained. Good Luck!
